Heejin's POV
We're getting nearer to the entrance and at every step, I feel like dying. There's Jiwoo smiling widely at me, but I still feel nervous as hell.
"Oh, they're here" Jungeun appears
"Hi" Hyunjin greeted the twin while I couldn't even part my lips.
We stopped in front of the two and I grip Hyunjin's arm tighter.
"Jungeun, Jiwoo, this is Heejin, my girlfriend" Hyunjin introduced me to them
"Heejin, these are my cousins, Jungeun and Jiwoo" then introduced them to me.
"Hello, Uno's girlfriend!" Jiwoo greeted enthusiastically and suddenly hug me. Not gonna lie, she feels comfortable.
"Welcome to the family" Jungeun said while smiling. I returned the smile as I hug Jiwoo back.
"Let's get inside! We've been waiting for the two of you" Jiwoo said, breaking the hug and I quickly reached for Hyunjin's hand again.
"Loosen up a bit, baby" she whispered in my ear and kissed it after. HOW CAN I LOOSEN UP A BIT, KIM HYUNJIN?
I should've taken a calming pill.
"Mom! Dad! I'm here with my girlfriend!" Hyunjin shouted and I hit her.
"Uno" oh shit oh shit OH SHIT THAT'S FUCKING KIM JU.
I'm about to run away and never come back when Hyunjin kept me in place as the footsteps come nearer.
"Fucking let go of me and let me go back to Seoul" I said through gritted teeth to Hyunjin.
"Uno, please-" I cut myself off and stand up straight when Mr and Mrs Kim arrived.
I did a 90° bow and take all my courage to look at them.
"Mom, dad, this is Jeon Heejin, my girl" Hyunjin said with a proud smile and I smiled too. I bet it fucking looks awkward.
"What a fine lady we got here" her mom smile kindly and I have a death grip on Hyunjin's hand.
"Honey, have mercy on our Uno's hand, it's turning red" she said and I quickly release Hyunjin's hand. God, please guide me. Let me get out of here alive. Amen.
"Don't worry, we don't bite" Mr Kim said before turning around together with Mrs Kim, "We just kill" oh hell nah I'M OUT OF HERE FUCK IT.
I take a deep breath and attempted to run away.
"You're not going anywhere, Heej" Hyunjin said, wrapping her arms around my waist, pulling me to the dining room.
"Hyunjin, I love you, you know that, but let me fucking go home. I'm gonna die here I swear" I squirm around her embrace.
"Chill, he's just joking" she said and laugh, still dragging me to the dining room.
"That's not a joke though" I said, finally giving in because I realized that she's much stronger than me and it's a waste of energy to fight back.
"Uno, I really want to live" I said and fake cries, hoping that she'll feel pity for me and just let me go back to Ryujin's place.
"Don't be so dramatic. You're not gonna die" she said
"Get yourself together now" she said, so I obeyed and stand up properly. She fixed my dress and peck my forehead.
We entered the dining room and they're all seated around the table. There are two empty chairs which I suppose is for me and Hyunjin.
I bow politely again and Hyunjin pulled the chair for me. I sat down and play with my fingers under the table.
The maids serve the foods and Hyunjin's mom filled my plate with those. I thanked her, of course, and we started eating.
"Heejin, don't be so nervous. I was just kidding earlier" Mr Kim said and chuckles.
"You know, dad, she almost run away after you and mom turned around. Luckily, I took a hold of her" Hyunjin laughs and I stomp on her foot causing her to wince in pain. Bitch.
"Hyunjin told me that Jihyuk beat you up and starve you for how many days... Is that true?" he asked and I nod my head in response.
"That asshole- I apologize for my words, hija" he said
"It's fine, Mr Kim" I said. What he said is true anyways. My dad's an asshole.
"Just call me dad" he said
"Come again?" did I hear that right?
"Just call me dad, Heejin" he smiled at me, I can tell how genuine it is.
"If it's just okay to you though. I'm fine with dad or uncle" he said
"It's okay to me, dad" I smiled
"That sounds better than mister" he said
"I told you they're nice" Hyunjin whispered to me and caress my hand that's on my thigh.
I felt so much relief after that. My nervousness slowly went away and as we talk, I became more comfortable with them. I joked around with Uncle Jung, Jiwoo and Jungeun's dad. Jiwoo is so much like him while Jungeun is like the carbon copy of their mom.
I noticed that Hyunjin is actually quieter than her sister Hyejoo while Yerim is talkative. It even feels like I speak more than Hyunjin the whole lunchtime.
Mom hugged me after the meal and we went upstairs to Hyunjin's room where we're currently chilling.
Ryujin arrived minutes ago and now, she's making fun of my attempt to run away. I threw a cushion to her face and she left with offended expression.
Hyunjin chuckles and said, "Come here"
I sat between her legs, resting my back on her front while she rests her back against the headboard of her bed.
Her arms slowly encircled themselves around me and she buried her face to my neck, the tip of her nose grazing on the skin of my neck.
"I feel so happy" she said
"I don't need to hide you anymore" I felt that she smiled against my skin.
"I feel happy too, Uno"
This is the best feeling I've ever felt. Even though our relationship isn't accepted by my parents, at least her family accepts us despite the whole situation. She I feel so welcomed by them.
"I can finally show the world how much I love you" she pulls me closer and I smile.
"I feel like crying, bunny" she said and I quickly turn sideways, so I can face her.
"Why?" I cup her face
"I waited for this for so long" she said, her tears started pouring down. I wipe away those tears while my tears start falling too.
We waited for so long. And the long wait is finally over.
"Stop crying" I whine as my tears pour down harder.
"You're also crying though" she said
We're wiping each other's tears and laugh, seeing each other crying our eyes out.
"I love you" she said and I smile. I look like an idiot now. Crying while smiling widely.
"I love you too" I said, pecking her lips.
She held me in her arms and I feel like home. It's been a while since I felt like this. She's my home. Uno is my home.
I can finally love her freely. I don't care anymore about my parents. I have a new family now. A family who accepts me and her. A family who cares about me.
I remembered what mom and dad said earlier and my eyes watered even more.
"You're a part of the family now, Heejin"
That really melted my heart. The way they still trust me despite me being a Jeon.
I burry my face on Hyunjin's chest and cry even more.
